Dude, Saturday Night Specials. I have a set, and they are incredible. I had them in my Washburn Parallaxe Trevor Rabin, which is a hardtail superstrat, and they were the best, most versatile pickups ever in that guitar. They were the only set listed on Duncan's site at the time listed as medium output, if I remember correctly. But anyway, I could play country if I were so inclined, blues, rock, thrash, or death metal, and they sounded great no matter what. I found everything I played just to have great nuance and character. There was never any of that blandness or harshness I've felt from the JB. This guitar came with JB in the bridge and a '59 in the neck. The '59 was okay to me, but the JB was just purely hateful to my ears. Talk about harsh without any real range. Just screaming all the time. And rolling off the volume knob just made it sound anemic and bland. But the Saturday Night Specials, in both the neck and bridge, just sounded articulate and sweet no matter what I did.
I then put them in my Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder Black Limba, which is another superstrat, but this time with a Floyd. Here they still had the versatility, but the guitar itself has a harshness to it, right around 2.3kHz, that I would have to dial out with the Saturday Night Specials. So I realized this guitar is really begging for really really hot pickups. I put in some blistering hot humbuckers, that took away the harshness.
But for a guitar like yours, I'd definitely take a hard look at the Saturday Night Specials. You can roll off the volume and tone knobs and get all sorts of expressive and authoritative goodness. You can always buy from a Duncan dealer and take advantage of their exchange policy if you realize you don't like them.
